Inventor: SOWLE EDDIE D
IPC: C11D3/08
Filed: 1997-10-14
Abstract: A novel detergent composition and product form
provides for substantial chlorine stability in
detergents having substantial organic surfactant
concentration. The product comprises a blend of:
   (a) an encapsulated halogen source; and   (b) a detergent particulate comprising an external drying
silicate compound and an internal composition;
   (i) the internal composition comprising an inorganic component
comprising a builder salt and an absorbed organic surfactant
component and an absorbed water component; and   (ii) the internal composition dried by the external silicate drying
compound;    
and the format ensures that water contained in the
formulation, sensitive organic materials and the chlorine source
are structurally isolated preventing undesirable chlorine
surfactant interactions and instability.
Particulate detergents can be packaged in any arbitrary packaging
component that can maintain a dry flowable powder.

IPC: A61N1/365

Abstract: There is provided a rate responsive pacemaker system and method
employing an activity-type sensor for deriving signals for determining pacing rate, wherein
the activity sensor threshold is automatically adjusted as a friction of monitored sensor
output. In a preferred embodiment, activity counts are categorized on a histogram basis,
and the histogram data is stored over a selected period of time. The activity data in
histogram form is then analyzed and compared to predetermined criteria to determine
whether threshold seems to be proper, or whether threshold adjustment is indicated. The
adjustment algorithm provides different degrees of adjustment depending upon the
circumstances. Specifically, where the data suggests too many or too few counts within
an expected range, the threshold is adjusted as a function of whether the analyzed outputs
are only a little bit out of the expected range or quite a bit out of the expected range. The
algorithm also determines whether the sensor response accurately reflects patient rest.
Another specific feature of the invention is determination of when the sensor is picking
up false positives and thus improperly responding to extraneous signals such as patient's
cardiac contractions.

Abstract: A memory system including a memory controller that operates in conformity with
fast page mode (FPM) memory devices and an extended-data output (EDO) memory device
configured to operate with the FPM memory controller by having an output enable input
receiving a column address strobe (CAS) signal from the memory controller. The EDO
memory device terminates its data cycle upon negation of the CAS signal, so that it operates
in a similar manner as an FPM memory device. This prevents data corruption and bus cycle
contention. The memory system includes a memory board coupled through a memory board
connector, which receives the CAS signal from the memory controller. The memory board
includes one or more module connectors, each having an output enable contact receiving the
CAS signal. The EDO memory device is mounted on a memory module and includes an
output enable input pin which receives the CAS signal when the memory module is plugged
into the memory board. In this manner, a computer including a memory system
implemented to operate with FPM memory may be upgraded to EDO memory.

Abstract: A connector module having a header connector and a socket connector. The
header connector has an L-shaped cross-section ground pin and a signal pin, and the
socket connector has an L-shaped cross-section ground receptacle contact and an L-shaped
cross-section signal receptacle contact. The ground pin engages the ground
receptacle contact at the ends of the L to generate forces in a first and a second
direction, where the two directions are perpendicular to each other. The signal pin
engages the signal receptacle contact at the ends of the L to generate forces in a
third and fourth direction, where the two directions are opposite the first and second
directions, respectively. Thus, the forces in the first and third directions are
generally opposed to each other and are preferably arranged to cancel each other out
and the forces in the second and fourth directions are generally opposed to each
other and are preferably arranged to cancel each other out. A pair of ground
receptacle contacts and signal receptacle contacts can be arranged in a mirror
relationship to improve the signal integrity, thereby canceling crosstalk.
